Panasonic PV-GS80 MiniDV Camcorder with 32x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom When you carry the tiny Panasonic PV-GS80 Palmcorder Camcorder with you, you’ll capture every unique moment on film. This amazingly small and sharp digital camcorder gives you clear, sharp, stable photos and video. The optical image stabilizer and 32x optical zoomensure you always get the best shot. Professional tools like a noise reducing microphone, low-light shooting (with MagicPix) and white balancing make this little camcorder competitive with bigger models. When you see how compact it is, you’ll wonder why you bought anything else. It’s the Palmcorder that does it all. 16 - 9 Wide Mode recording Digital Zoom - 32x - 1,000x Records to MiniDV tape Stereo Zoom Mic with wind noise reduction Backlight compensation Functions as a webcam White Balance - Auto/Indoor/Outdoor/Manual Minimum Illumination - 2 Lux (with MagicPix) Manual Focus Ring Soft-Skin Mode Date Recording Recording Modes - SP/LP Still Picture Size - 640 x 480 (4 - 3), 640 x 360 (16 - 9) DPOF - Max. 999 stills Languages - English / French / Spanish Mini DV in/out Accessory Shoe - Cold Dimensions(HxWxD) - 3.09 x 2.86 x 5.36 Weight - 1 lb.
Customer Review: Great for family trips.
This is a great little camera. We bought it a week before we left for a road trip. It is really easy to use. It’s light and small, and takes a good picture. We used it both in the car and outside in the wind. It picks up voices really well and doesn’t get a lot of road or wind noise. It has a good zoom and the LCD screen is really helpful. We travel a lot and are really glad we got this camera!!!
Customer Review: good for point and shoot, but nothing beyond.
First the good. It’s solid, built really well. If it weren’t for the lack of buttons/controls on this thing you’d think it was a more expensive camera. I like the “square” design much better than the vertical design of some consumer cams. The inclusion of a cold shoe is a nice idea, but what can you really use here other than a cheapo light. If you need a cheapo light you can just buy a GS85 instead. REAL easy to use. Turn it on, decide if you want to shoot widescreen or oldschool style (pick widescreen, it’s just the way of things).
The major problem for me was… the colors weren’t always on point. I mean, it looked decent, they just weren’t accurate. When filming in my well lit kitchen, my blue wall looked grey. I understand this is a budget cam, and for some people that’ll be no big deal, but for me I couldn’t live with it.
Also, it fits really strangely in the hand. You really need to have a FIRM grip on the top of the cam with your fingers, if you let go, the thing will flop right down due to the location of the handstrap. All in all, I wanted a better camera for what I wanted to do (short films, etc.)
Again, I must say that If i was going to get a point and shooter or recommend one to someone, I’d tell them to get a panasonic for sure. I liked the build, I liked the design, I liked the joystick, and I like the zoom control. The eyepiece even pulls out on this which can be useful. Sometimes when framing a scene, looking thru the eyepiece rather than the viewfinder helps your creative mind do it’s thing.
I ended up returning this, as I felt I “outgrew” it in about a week. But perhaps my needs were just out of reach for this camera.

Customer Review: Ultimate Junk The only good thing about this product is the software (Studio 8). I bought a DVC 150. I spent two days trying to get Tech support, and 45 minutes on long distance toll calls to their version of tech support (they do not offer toll free service). Their tech suggested that I use a 1394 setup for better quality and ease of use. They never did answer the email I sent for assistance 4 days ago. I paid $150.00 for this piece of junk desk orniment. A firewire card and cable is only $75.00 at Best Buy. And I have been able to down load my grandson’s birthday from my Sharp Digital Viewcam just like I wanted to with out unnecessary grief and agrivation.

Customer Review: Promise Unfulfilled Hullfish and Fowler offer a lot of good information in their book “Avid Xpress Pro Editing Workshop”, but they also squeeze in far too many attempts to make the book “entertaining”. Instead of teaching you in some kind of happy-go-lucky way, their jokes, quips and quirks sidetrack and ultimately frustrate you. And while you get the sense that these guys are terrifically experienced editors with lots of tricks up their sleeves, you don’t perform those tricks yourself because the DVD-ROM in the back of the book doesn’t include much of a tutorial at all, just some groovy little settings that you can copy. Unfortunately, the book is not organized as a quick reference, nor is it designed as a true “workshop”–as the title advertises. In fact, the only real work you do is wading through black and white text while you seek out those instructive hands-on lessons that never quite materialize. While the authors offer loads of terrific information, the book doesn’t fulfill the title’s promise.
